While visiting Katherine MacGregor for her birthday in January 2013, I gave her this tiny model of the mercantile. The scale is “N”, frequently used for model railroading. As the building is so small, I was able to add some scenery around, re-creating a tiny part of Walnut Grove. The dog is here to remind Katherine of the days when she used to bring her own dog, Beau Bruce, on the set in Simi Valley.
